D
Tendon
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the role of connective tissue in skeletal muscle structure. Connective tissues support and connect muscles to other structures, such as bones.
Step 2: Identify the specific connective tissue types listed: Ligament, Aponeurosis, Fascia, and Tendon, and recall their functions.
Step 3: Recall that ligaments connect bone to bone, not muscle to bone.
Step 4: Recognize that aponeuroses are broad, flat sheets of connective tissue that connect muscles to muscles or muscles to bones but are not the primary structure for muscle-to-bone attachment.
Step 5: Understand that fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds muscles and groups of muscles but does not directly attach muscle to bone. The tendon is the connective tissue that specifically attaches muscle to bone.
